Hey guys,
Throughout the process of playing and modding sometimes files get altered. Here is a copy of the data folder from the mod Version that I used to set up the game. Simply replace your mod Data folder with this one and you should be able to play your turns with no problems.
STM v133 beta Data Files
And no not having a PW would not effect the game, simply add a PW this turn and DON'T forget to set to set the option in the Minister window at the very bottom to on so that the ministers do not make changes to your game if you happen to miss a turn. (Not likly to happen, but you never know.)
Turn could be 48 hours, or whenever they are uploaded. No rush for the game as far as I am concerned. If two turns a day are played or even one every two days its ok with me.
